The isotopes of hydrogen have different physical properties due to difference in mass. They have almost same chemical properties with a difference in their rates of reactions which is mainly due to.

A

Their different enthalpy of bond dissociation

B

Different electronic configurations

C

Different atomic masses

D

Different physical properties.

Answer

Their different enthalpy of bond dissociation

Explanation

Solution

: Enthalpy of bond dissociation of deuterium is higher (443.35KJmol1)(443.35KJmol^{- 1}) than hydrogen (435.88KJmol1)(435.88KJmol^{- 1}) Tritium is radioactive.
